We Want The D

Disney films have shaped and supported childhoods for over 75 years. But when you watch them as adults there are things that make you want to unfreeze Walt's head and say, "What the hell, guy?!". Tune in each week to hear Vicky, Nolan, and Jill rip apart, analyse, and laugh at beloved childhood classics from the Disney catalogue.

For a place known as the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia is infamous for having some of the hardest-to-please and quick-to-anger fans across all sports. And it seems some of that aggression has rubbed off on our hosts' during this week's episode on Disney's INVINCIBLE. Because Vicky, Nolan and Jill have some Big Takes on Mark Wahlberg, the NFL and (oddly) especially recreational sports. It doesn't quite get to full-contact territory or anything...but it's not that far off, either!

Step aside, Hercules (sorry, we mean Hunkules) - we've stumbled across the real greatest hero in the Disney canon. It's AMY, of course! A woman who suffered a horrible loss and channeled her grief into helping others, ditching her awful, possessive husband in the process (if it wasn't clear, this is another movie from the 1980s). While a bit heavy on the soap opera melodrama and filming techniques, our hosts were all quite taken with this film; and by the end of this week's episode you may be too.

It's another entry in the "Walt learned some history trivia so they made a movie about it" genre of Disney film this week. This time, it's about the expedition that navigated through the previously uncharted waters of the Colorado River; and if this movie is any indication immediately all went a little bit nuts and almost killed each other. It's TEN WHO DARED...or, more accurately, SIX WHO DARED AND FOUR WHO DIDN'T.

Grab your best pair of skiing jeans, D-Lovers, cause we're hitting the slopes this week with Disney's SNOWBALL EXPRESS. Featuring an all-star cast of some of our 1970s favourites - Dean Jones! Harry Morgan! Johnny Whitaker! Schuyler from the Medfield College movies! - only this time the pratfalls and hijinks all take place on a ski hill and there's lots of dangerous engine-based comedy. So, you know, a remix on a pretty familiar formula at this point.

The first Tron was a one-of-a-kind visual odyssey into a digital world the likes of which had never been rendered. TRON: LEGACY would could be described the same way, but since technically the first Tron exists, it can't be. There are a lot of points of comparison between the two Disney films, obviously - both are visually arresting, both make even the most tech-savvy viewer feel like a grandparent trying to figure out which remote turns on the TV, both have multiple Jeff Bridges. This movie may be best enjoyed with your brain switched off so you can just enjoy the pretty lights and sounds, but unfortunately that's just not the business we're in on We Want The D.
